[Callers] Re: [External] Help with figuring out a suuuuuuper simple medley?

Emily It all depends upon what you have taught earlier in the evening? One of my favorite medleys is: Forgotten Treasure<https://www.grantgoodyear.org/dance/programs/20081122.html#forg…ad>, Beth Parkes -> Roll in the Hey<http://www.quiteapair.us/calling/acdol/dance/acd_131.html>, Roger Diggle -> Hey in the Barn<https://www.ibiblio.org/contradance/thecallersbox/dance.php?id=1048…82>, Chart Guthrie Partner interaction increases and builds up over the 3 dances. Requires they are comfortable with a hey. However, if your group doesn't do heys, perhaps something like: Forgotten Treasure<https://www.grantgoodyear.org/dance/programs/20081122.html#forg…ad>, Beth Parkes -> Push the Button<https://cdss.org/wp-content/uploads/resources/CDSS-The-Basics-of-…=6>, Gene Hubert -> Airpants<https://www.ibiblio.org/contradance/thecallersbox/dance.php?id=…77>, Lisa Greenleaf The point is to have fun and validate what the dancers have learned over the course of the evening. The point is NOT to challenge them. You expect the dancers will be able to execute all the choreography comfortably. You might even consider putting in one of the dances you had done earlier in the evening, as part of the medley, kind of as a joke.

Hi fellow contra callers :) Given the situations I usually call in, I've never done a medley. However, in a few weeks I'm calling in a situation where a medley would work really well. It's not an overly experienced group of contra dancers. However, they are really keen and want to try new stuff. I'd love to have a no-fail super simple contra medley. Might you have any suggestions on medleys that you've used that have been safe/no fail in a situation with mixed experienced levels? Much thanks :) Emily in Ottawa ON
